"I've gone through about 15 different types of BCPs, all with negative results from being a bitch 24/7, being depressed, sore breasts, skin discoloration, weight gain, UTIs, you name it, it's happened. This is the only one I've taken that has not had any effect on me physically, emotionally, or even personally. I love it and have been on it for 2 years with no problem. I would recommend it to someone who's had as picky a body as I do."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I was put on Lo/Ovral at 13 for abnormal bleeding, basically 6 weeks, non-stop. I stayed on it until I was 28 years old with no problems. Previously, as most young girls, I was very moody and had a lot of struggles. On Lo/Ovral, I did have one hard day a month prior to getting my period, but otherwise it was great. I never noticed any weight changes, had no spotting, acne symptoms, cramping, or heavy bleeding. I have two children now and had them without any difficulty relating to taking this birth control for so long. The problem is now that I am older, 33, it no longer works for me, I spot during the month. I am truly struggling to find a good replacement birth control. It may not work as well for everyone, but I wouldn't be afraid to try it!"

For Birth Control "I took this for 10 yrs. Began experiencing severe leg cramping and depression. During a routine exam, found a lump in my breast at 31. Had a hysterectomy at 40 due to adenomyosis and eventually had a bilateral mastectomy at 51 after developing breast cancer."

For Birth Control "I took Ortho Tri-Cyclen for birth control for 2 years with no issues. After 2 weeks, my migraine headaches worsened, a nervous/ill feeling hit me, and my heart was always pounding. I stopped taking it immediately (I'm married and we are stable enough to have a baby) and have since decided to start trying to have a baby. I recommend lots of caution with this one (especially if you take something for ADHD)."

For Birth Control "Before I got on the pill, my cramps used to be horrible. I started the pill a year ago and haven't had any cramps since. I love it and don't plan on getting off until I'm ready to have kids."
